Various methods and systems are provided for determining a quality of a medical gas flow. In one example, a method for a medical gas quality monitoring system includes obtaining measurements of a medical gas via a plurality of sensors, the plurality of sensors including at least one of a humidity sensor, a particulate matter sensor, a carbon dioxide sensor, and a total volatile organic compound (tVOC) sensor, determining a gas quality index of the medical gas based on the obtained measurements, and outputting the determined gas quality index.

A display device of an anesthesia machine which is communicable with at least one syringe pump that is an external apparatus displays an anesthesia information display screen. When a call switch is operated, a syringe pump information display screen indicating operation information of the syringe pump is displayed on the display device, in addition to the anesthesia information display screen.

A method of controlling a flow rate of gases supplied to a patient by a respiratory assistance device includes controlling the supply gases flow rate so as to deliver gases to the patient according to a predetermined gases pressure/flow rate profile for at least a portion of the breathing cycle. A profile may be achieved that provides the patient with a particular benefit or therapy.

A cover member (36) that forms an end of a housing (26) of an oxygenator (10) has a recessed wall portion (88) recessed relative to a cover main body (74) further toward a side of a gas exchange unit (30) than an inner surface (74a). A pressure control hole (86) is formed through a main body (74) of the cover member (36), and a sampling port (90a) is disposed in the second recessed wall portion (88) to collect gas guided out from the gas exchange unit (30). The sampling port (90a) faces, at its inner opening portion (92), a second outlet side end face (31b) of the gas exchange unit (30).

Disclosed is a respirator which comprises an electronic control device and a pneumatic main line in which the following are connected pneumatically: a respiratory gas source, a valve, a mixing chamber, a gas-dosing unit, and a supply line. The gas-dosing unit is configured to convey external air and/or oxygen and/or anesthetic gas into the mixing chamber, the respiratory gas source is configured to deliver respiratory gas to the supply line, the mixing chamber is configured to make available respiratory gas, the supply line is configured to supply the patient with respiratory gas, and the valve is configured to at least temporarily reduce a stream of respiratory gas to a patient.

Module for housing electronic and electromechanical medical equipment including a portable digital camera and processing circuitry with machine vision and machine learning software for automatically documenting healthcare events and healthcare equipment operations in the electronic health record.

An aerosol generator is positioned adjacent to a patient as an attachment to a trocar. The trocar has an entry port for insufflation gas. Aerosol generated by a vibrating element is entrained in the insufflation gas and the mixture is delivered through the trocar. The aerosol may contain a medicament. The trocar may be a conventional trocar. Such trocars are typically used for a camera. The delivery of the aerosolized medicament can occur at the start of the procedure and be delivered in bolus. At the start of the procedure, the peritoneum is being inflated by means of the flow of insufflator gas. This gas flow will help to entrain the aerosolized medicament to the pneumoperitoneum regions. The surgeon can temporarily remove the camera from the trocar port to facilitate insertion and positioning of the aerosolizing unit.

A ventilator system includes a gas flow chamber configured to receive ventilation gas circulating in a ventilation gas pathway of the ventilator and at least one UVC lamp. The UVC lamp is configured to radiate UVC spectrum light into the gas flow chamber to inactivate pathogens in the ventilation gas. A flow sensor is configured to measure a gas flow rate of the ventilation gas and a controller is configured to receive the gas flow rate, determine an intensity based on the gas flow rate, and control power to the UVC lamp based on the intensity.

Disclosed is a nasal ventilation mask having separate ports to monitor end-tidal CO.sub.2 expulsion integrated into the mask in order to monitor end-tidal CO.sub.2 expelled nasally or orally. Also disclosed is a CPR mask for nose-to-mouth and/or mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, having a body shaped to cover the nose and/or mouth of a victim, the mask including a CO.sub.2 absorber for eliminating at least in part rescuer's exhaled CO.sub.2 delivered to the victim.
